Optimization of chemical reactors, filtration equipment, mixers and other related processes is performed with the Chemical Reaction Engineering Module.
The module supports the simulation of matter transport and heat transfer together with arbitrary chemical kinetics in gases, liquids, porous media, surfaces, solid phases or combined environments.
Students review the Reaction Engineering interface and Chemistry interface, including the theoretical foundations, fundamental concepts, methods and tools behind chemical reaction modeling.
The course also introduces general electrochemistry, current distribution models, electrochemical analysis, cyclic voltammetry, electrophoretic transport and applications such as electrolysis, electrodialysis, sensors, wastewater treatment and desalination.
The course combines chemical reaction engineering, transport phenomena and general electrochemistry through practical COMSOL workflows.
